Chivas USA has turned the table on their once dominant counterparts here in Los Angeles.

Last night, Chivas USA dominated the Los Angeles Galaxy in pretty much every facet of the game.

Chivas USA scored 3 goals on a two-time goalie of the year in LA Galaxy Goal Keeper - Joe Cannon and was mostly due to the effortless play of the defense in front of the keeper.

The Los Angeles Galaxy came out tired and uninspired.

David Beckham, in particular, looked like he had no business being on the field and was basically immobile for the last few minutes of the game no doubt due to the 90 minutes he played the day before for England’s national team.

The LA Galaxy is basically out of the playoff hunt now and it was painfully evident last night that the Galaxy are still in need of a top-flight scoring talent to team up with David Beckham’s passes.

It’ll be interesting to see what the attendance is like at Galaxy games now that they’re really out of the playoff hunt.

On a positive note for Chivas USA, Maykel Galindo continues to impress and scored 2 goals las night (he now has a total of 10 in his rookie campaign). The combination of Maykel Galindo and Ante Razov up front give the Chivas a formidable scoring duo that I would match up with any other in the league.

Recently acquired Ramon Nunez played in extended minutes for the first time in last night’s match and right away you can tell that this is the kind of guy that isn’t afraid to challenge defenders and try to make things happen on the field.

Look forward to seeing his progress and to seeing what Chivas USA can do in the playoffs.
